Ebook is dead. http://forums.groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=171647
I looked at Ebook when I first became a premimum member, but never used it.
I put my PQs into GSAK and then create Cachemate files from there for my Palm. It gives me everything I need except pictures for the rare cache that needs them.

Cachemate is a database program that is installed in your palm or pocket PC. GSAK can send almost all the cache info from a GPX into Cachemate.
Cost is US$8 and you can try before you buy.

Wow! 85 new caches since this post and MB now has 1500 caches. Three PQ will no longer be enough to get all MB caches. PQ 1 & 2 can be left the way there are and just change the end date of PQ 3 as well as add PQ 4

I noticed that my pocket query list wasn't as efficient as it could be, so I updated the dates. For the new folks reading this for the first time, this will help you to run an efficient group of Pocket Queries that will provide GPX or LOC files for all of the Manitoba caches. This is especially useful if you use an offline database such as GSAK or Cacheberry.

Just select the following when you run your query:
Name the query appropriately -see below.
Days to Generate: Leave blank for now.
How often the query runs: uncheck day of the week...
500 Caches
Any type
Any Container
***Several fields left alone. No boxes checked in the "That" or "And" sections.***
Select Manitoba in the State/Province list
None Selected for From Origin
Then Placed during should contain the ranges above. One range for each query.

When I named the query at the top of the list, I use a numeric prefix and then the date range: 1 - 2/5/2001 - 6/24/2006. That way they don't get all mixed up in your Pocket Query list.

Hope that helps somebody._________________Have you hugged a lizard today?

Peter & Gloria as well as Lizardo, this is awesome info; I just have a couple of questions. I have cacheberry on my BB & just started using it as my Bushnell GPSr wasn't the best for caching, now I have a Colorado 300 & it's light years ahead of what we're used to so it'll take some time to get it all figured out.

Question 1.When you run these pocket queries & they end up on your email, how do they get merged with the Cacheberry app? When you open the email does it try to merge like it does when you go to the individule cache page & click on GPXexchange file?

Question 2.Is this how you load all the caches onto your Garmin product without going to each cache & clicking the send to GPS tab?

For question 2, I think most of us have migrated to using GSAK to load caches onto our GPSr. It's a very powerful and sometimes complex tool, it can be a bit intimidating at first, but you'll soon learn all the handy features and customization it supports to make loading and caching a nicer task.

The MBGA has held a few seminars in the past and we've posted the materials online for reference, http://www.mbgeocaching.ca/tutorials. It would be a good idea to host a new seminar sometime soon though.

I also use cacheberry. I have had trouble with loading certain types of GPX files. My version of Cacheberry only accepts GPX 1.0 files, If I try to load GPX 1.1 files, it doesn't work.

As ertyu said, I use GSAK as well. For switching between the two versions of GPX files, it makes it much easier. Although, since upgrading to the Oregon 550 myself, I can't really see too much of a use for cacheberry. Other than the WAP.Geocaching.com access from the berry (which is not dependant on Cacheberry), the blackberry may just stay in its holster._________________Have you hugged a lizard today?

These can only be run once a week correct? I can't run all these lists the same day correct?
